Re: Lynn, pain devices

The cream is good...she gave me Myclog, with an antifungal and triamzalone (sp?) but since the area stays pretty "sealed (skin on skin)" - the cream seems to act as a sealant, too! It woke me up last night, itchy!!

Have a good Tuesday!

Hi Lynn,I honestly don't know if it could help ( and maybe you've already tried it), but you could try rubbing the OTC yeast creams on your skin, see if it helps? My skin rashes have not been in typical yeast-prone areas, so I'm not sure just what they are, but do think it's all related somehow. I've been using hydrocortisone, sometimes mixed in with the yeast cream:) You need some relief!Tenayahh, how do you get the device you're going to try? By prescription? I've never heard of it, but if it helps with sleep as well as pain, I'm game!

Hi ,

My new internist (who is very nutrition-minded and open to

alternatives) referred me to a health counselor who supplies the

Alpha-Stim. My doc said she really respects the work this counselor is

doing in terms of helping people deal emotionally with health issues.

If you call the company (contact info below) they can probably give

you the name of a supplier where you live.

I had a session with this counselor who seems very down-to-earth and

practical. She has many clients who use it, and also uses it herself

to reduce the feelings of stress.

I tried it for 50 minutes during this session and when I got home, for

a little while it was easier to walk up the stairs in my house. My

body felt a little bit lighter. This is not something I expected or

was looking for, but it still may have been part of the " euphoria " or

energy boost you get from trying something new. If this happens again

I'll be happy, but don't really expect it to last.

The same thing happened when I started to take MSM. I woke up one day

feeling amazingly light and suddenly could walk on my toes and heels

again. Practically ran up the stairs! Walked 4 miles one evening. But

my EMG was coming up and (not knowing how sick I really was) thought

it wasn't good to be taking a muscle relaxant, sinced they'd be

looking for myotonia.(They thought I had myotonic dystrophy)So I

stopped the MSM. In two days my legs felt like tree-trunks again.

After the EMG I immediately started back on the MSM but have never

gotten that sense of lightness again. Honestly, for a day I thought

the whole thing about weakness and muscle disease must be a horrible

mistake, it felt so good! But no ... back to that wierd sense of

moving underwater.

I try to be open to new ideas but also skeptical, so we shall see

about the Alpha-Stim and sleep. If it helps with the physical energy,

even for a little while, that will be a bonus.

The health counselor here rents for $7/wk to try it and then sells it

for around $400. She wants people to try before they invest in it.

Good luck!

Tenayahh

New Treatment Generates Safe

Results for

Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, and

Pain

An extraordinary new product was recently released for the more

than 118 million Americans suffering from anxiety, depression,

insomnia or pain.

The Alpha-Stim, developed by Electromedical Products

International, Inc. (EPI) based in Mineral Wells, Texas, is a small

medical device that treats stress-related disorders and pain with

tiny electrical currents. These currents are similar to those

found naturally in the body and use unique waveforms to

normalize the body's bioelectrical control systems.

Alpha-Stim's simple, self-administered treatments, which

generally take only 20 minutes every other day, calm frenetic

brain activity found in stressed, anxious or depressed people,

leaving the body relaxed and the mind alert. A physician's

survey revealed more than 90 percent of people using the

Alpha-Stim for pain, anxiety or depression and 79 percent of

people using the Alpha-Stim for insomnia obtained significant

results.

The Alpha-Stim successfully treats anxiety, depression,

insomnia and pain without serious side effects.

Unlike medications, the Alpha-Stim is not addictive, does not

develop tolerance and has no serious negative side effects. The

Alpha-Stim is also highly cost-effective compared to on-going

drug therapy and is frequently the quickest and most long-lasting

solution to many pain and stress related problems.

" Thank-you letters have poured in from people who have

experienced amazing results with the Alpha-Stim, " said Dr. Dan

Kirsch, chairman of EPI and developer of the Alpha-Stim.

" Some people had suffered for years, not just from their

condition but also from the harmful side-effects of medications,

until they tried the Alpha-Stim. "

The Alpha-Stim employs the concept that humans are electrical

beings and that the biophysics underlying the body's chemistry

play a significant role in regulating all of life's processes. And,

since the brain controls every function of the body, the healing

potential is tremendous.

To date, Alpha-Stim microcurrent technology has treated an

estimated 8 million people worldwide. The Alpha-Stim is

available over-the-counter in Canada, Europe, Australia, South

America, and Asia, but only by prescription in the U.S. For
